Hi, I'm Hari Nikesh R 👋

I am currently working at blibli.com as a Native Android Developer with over 3 years of hands-on experience. My journey in tech began with a passion for solving complex problems, which naturally led me to explore the world of mobile technology—particularly Android, Kotlin, and Firebase.

At Blibli, I work across critical mobile infrastructure and contribute to Android experiences that serve thousands of users within a robust omnichannel commerce ecosystem. My work includes developing native features, integrating Firebase Cloud services, and optimizing app performance in production-level environments.

Driven by a strong interest in learning and teaching, I actively engage with developer communities. This has led me to organize and speak at numerous tech events, host workshops, and mentor students and early engineers. I am also deeply involved in AI, exploring how it integrates with Google technologies and enhances problem-solving in real-world scenarios.

Community leadership roles:

• Organizer of the Tamil Nadu Java User Group.
• Co-organizer of the Bangalore Java User Group.
• Collaborator with Google Developer Groups on campus at Sri Eshwar College of Engineering.
• Student mentor and frequent speaker in college industrial programs.

In the long run, I aim to continue growing as a technical speaker, published author, and recognized Google Developer Expert in Android, empowering developers across India and beyond through knowledge, mentorship, and community-focused innovation.

When I'm not building for the mobile ecosystem or leading community meetups, I explore the depths of the ocean. I am a certified Scuba Diver, a pursuit that has taught me as much about focus, discipline, and environmental awareness as it has about the world beneath the waves. Exploring marine life and mastering underwater navigation is my way of staying curious and connected to the world beyond the screen.
